Ability to set date format to dd/mm/yyyy in the config settings would be useful as well - the US mm/dd/yyyy confuses people and creates a lot of reformating when you're importing team schedules.

I'd agree with Andy's suggestion about a 'selected' notification. We're just moving to TS and the biggest brain freeze for Captains is that pretty much every other system in the UK (including our old one) involves them selecting who from their squad plays in each individual match, after which they get a selection notification for that week. The process is basically - Captains hold selection meeting, captains enter their squad for that weekend's game on the system, player receives a notification and responds.
I can see the benefit of my squad having visibility of the whole season's games in the system, so they can put them in their calendar and let me know of any games they're not available well in advance. I can also see the benefit of having my core squad already included in all that season's games, since probably the majority of the squad won't change from week to week. If a player is dropped / promoted, we'd transfer them to the relevant other team squad (but this might only be for a week - so would they then lose my team's fixtures off their app for a week, or would I share them, so they have both on their app ?)
What I'm missing (and maybe it's the fact that I've not used the system in anger yet) is the point at which a player gets an email / app notification saying - you've been selected to play for me this weekend - check the details and confirm your availability if you haven't already done so. In my long (37 years) experience of playing hockey, most players struggle to remember more than one game ahead, and even if they've ticked available at the start of the season, they expect a communication at the start of the week about where they're playing on Saturday, or assume they haven't got a game.
I know there's an element of player education in this, but a 'selected' notification would give all those sensitive players out there the reassurance they so desperately need on a weekly basis ;)
